Introduction
Walking in the neighborhoods of the Bronx you see buildings falling apart, apartments without safe windows, people suffering from distress due to their economic status, but then you can also see gorgeous buildings which are worth living in. However, these beautiful buldings may cost too much for average-people to afford. In order for people to have a comfortable living change had to be done and that is exactly what happend a little while ago (about 75 years), the chain of cruelty was broken, and an organization was created only for the benefit of the people. It was led by a Union, a group of people dedicated to provide better living, pay, and treatment for the people involved. It was called the Amalgamated Coop, and because of it's revolutionary "laws created by the cooperators for the betterment of the group." The cooperators' influence on the laws and regulations of the Amalgamted Complex prove how unprecedent the movement was to the history of urban housing.
Green ParagraphI: Upon moving into the Coop from the Lower West Side, immigrants, usually Jewish, found themselves in the lap of luxury, being offered so many new and exiting choices to take up their time. One of those choices was to become more active communally in the community. The new residents, though now having choices, did not disregard their past. Many comming from communism decided that they would be used to that style of governing. So they elected a leader that represented that branch of government. But they were no soursports. They knew the feeling of defeat, after some came to "the promised land" and found that the streets were not, in fact, paved with gold. They felt for the losing party, and the moment of their victory, sent condolenses and "great job, better luck next time" 's to the losing side. Remember now, they did not have the opportunity to have such an impact on how they would like to be lead. So their taking advantage of this opportunity to become more active in the community is one way the community as a whole demonstrated how the idea of this kind of a neighborhood could be unprecedented, and have a significant mark on history.
Green Paragraph II: Some other communal opportunities offered to the new awe-filled residents of the Amalgamated were many different clubs, with something for everyone to be involved in. For the women, there was the program committee, sewing clubs, knitting clubs (which are still in full swing), and tending to a garden they now had the opportunity to own, which would let them grow what ever they felt they would need, such as flowers to beautify, or vegetables to nourish. For the men, there were concerts and lectures they could attend, besides the community hall (still in it's glory) where they could schedule events by themselves for their friends and family to attend, for special occasions. The children had no worries as well. There were more than one park nearby, but there was no reason to go to them. The streets, clean of garbage, were the perfect play-area for most children, and they played stickball, catch, kickball, rode bikes, played frisbee, and more. They could also stay out later playing where before they needed to come home at a specific time, as it was a matter of safety, which they didn't have. Now they could stay out, until after the street light turned on, and be called in by their mothers through the clean secure windows, to their homes.
Blue Paragraph I-Throughout time the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America started showing how effective the cooperation can be. They showed this by all of the physical expansion and changes made for the benefits of the cooperators. The cooperation wanted to look for the best of the best for everyone including the new people arriving to the amalgamted or even new immigrants arriving. According to the document "New Law Starts Housing Projects," the cooperation was looking for the best things to satisfy the needs of the new- upcoming people and also the alreday existing people. For example, the complexes were built to show complete stability in the community. The complexes were also built to the easy access to places such as, Van Cortland Park, Dewitt Clinton High School, Public School 95, and also close to the IRT and independent subway lines. All of these changes made showed the effort and the strive to make the Amalgmated Housing Cooperation a place of comfort for everyone. The expanison of the cooperation came to an inmense rise. The Union took the cooperators needs to a serious manner.
Blue Paragraph II- Countinuing on with all the positive changes made by the Union to satisfy the needs and requirements of the cooperators the housing cooperative expanded to allow more residents to join in previously occupied areas. Going along with more of the expansion going on a sixth bulding was already on its way after the five successful buldings of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America Coorperation opened in honor of the Union workers opened on Christmas Day in 1927. "Model Houses Viewed" was the document which showed how effectively and all of the plans that were going to take place in order to make benefits to the housing complexes. "When completed, the houses will contain an auditorium, lecture room, library, and other rooms devoted to community enterprises." This shows how the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Cooperation took into consideration the needs of the cooperators and all the other people entering the Amalgamated and wanted to make as many positive changes as possible to create a better living space for all.
Purple Paragraph- Appreciation and loyalty are ways of people showing their gratitude. Due to all the effort put in by the cooperators the people wanted to show their loyalty and appreciation toward the cooperation. For example, one way they showed how much they appreciated the Union; more than 70% of the residents still live there. People find the apartments to be like "paradise" in the sense that they have no reason what so ever to leave. Based on the document "Model Tenemants Nearly All Rented," another way they showed the appreciation was by filling up the tenemants to almost a 100% which definetly shows how happy people were by the Amalgamated Housing Cooperation and mostly the cooperators.Overall, the Amalgamted Clothing Workers of America Cooperation was and still is one of the most important cooperations known and even the people are aware of how important and helpful the cooperation has been and how much effort that has been put in by them and cooperators have shown their appreciation and loyalty in different ways.
Conclusion Paragraph-
In conclusion, because of the role that the people played in the community, the Amalgamated was revolutionary. It's still in operation under the same beliefs that it was founded. Overall, the Amalgamated Housing Cooperative was and still is one of the most important housing complexes known because of how helpful it has been toward recent immigrants, and how much effort has been put in to keep the organization for those people and their needs.
